Investigation Summary
At 3:21 p.m. on June 6, 2017, a Peterbuilt box van traveling northbound on I-5 near milepost 280 in the middle of 3 lanes drove through barrel barricades at a high rate of speed into a protected construction work zone. The van struck the rear of a F-250 construction vehicle that was occupied by Employee #1 (Driver) and Employee #2 (Passenger). The impact of the collision pushed the F-250 into the center median area and the truck continued driving northbound without stopping. Both employees were hospitalized, Employee #1 was treated and released, and Employee #2 died on June 13, 2017.
